| Weekend Reflections is hosted by James each week beginning Friday at 11 AM Eastern Standard Time. It's another wonderful way of opening your eyes to new and different kinds of beauty. We are severely short on sunlight this week and my car is dead and gone and I'm now a hiker! So, I'm having to be extremely clever and/or inventive to find reflections. But I did find an interesting one -- I thought. This first one is a neighbor's tree seen through our kitchen door that has a glass window and then that is reflected in the window in the breakfast room!! What I love about it is that it looks like a tree growing in the clouds and looking out it's own window! Ok, Ok, I have a vivid imagination, what can I say??? |

An exponential stoppage
of pistons
in a frenzy
inside geriatric cylinders,
a rotating stop
of the gearbox
and wheels,
she takes
a deep breath,
as she steps out,
wearily,
patting a tired car....
A whisper,
like a message,
and the GPS
voice
intrigues her....
"Hi ! Sanctuary here !
.....
I've watched you
so many days,
its like,
I know your car;
so do the turtles,
and the ducks,
and some very curious trees,
bending to see you
through the water.....
As
for the pollen
and milkweed seeds,
do these young folks
ever listen....
they're all over the place !

Neato-o! You have have such good shots to show off!
ReplyDeletePeace,

Yep, you have a great imagination and a wonderful eye for photographs.
ReplyDeleteI can always count on you for creativity... Love the "tree in the clouds" and certainly the last water reflection is just dreamy!
ReplyDeleteFrom the first photo I though you had found a Christmas tree :-)
ReplyDeleteLike runeE! but these are dreams of trees, and at the end, a perfect sunset! you're offering beautyful gifts!
ReplyDeletehave a nice week-end!
Absolutely love the tree in the clouds with its own window. And your watery reflections are always beautiful, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Sylvia. You out-did yourself! Hope you manage to find a new car...
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots Sylvia. And I love the first shot it looks like an apparition hehe!
ReplyDeleteReflection
I particularly like the first tree image. A foreshadowing of Christmas. Sorry about the car. Strap on a pedometer and pretend that you intended to become a pedestrian. Lemonade from lemons.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures for the meme.Incredible captures!
ReplyDeleteCar troubles are no fun. Sigh. But sometimes being forced to look close to home reveals some of life's best moments! I love that tree shot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, as always. There is pollen, there are milkweed seeds dancing in the air. Lots of things floating on the water! I was surprised when we lived by the lake.
ReplyDeleteCheers from Cottage Country !
That first shot is so dreamy Sylvia! Have a great weekend & Halloween!
ReplyDeleteI like the first shot very much too... This tree that appears to be standing in the middle of nowhere is so stunning !
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Sylvia. Can you believe it's Friday already? I feel like Tuesday to Thursday never happened.
ReplyDeleteI really like your pine tree in the sky -- it's a very nice capture. The other two reflections are wonderful as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your dead car -- I hope you won't be hiking for long.
Such wonderful pictures. Your first picture is stunning, I thought they were curtains. Have a wonderful weekend
ReplyDeleteIt IS a tree growing in the clouds, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes Sylvia, that tree does look like it's growing in the clouds. What an amazing capture and imagination! Your photos, as always, are beautiful. Have a great weekend. Blessings Jo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat -- reflections in reflections. Lovely all three photos.
ReplyDeleteNever get enough of sunsets! The first pic is very clever -it looks like there's a canvas with a Christmas tree painted on it!
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia, molto interessante la composizione della 1° foto !
ReplyDeleteSembra quasi un riflesso dell'albero di Natale !
Ciao Myriam :)
Oh, I do like that top one. Tree in the clouds is just what it looks like.
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia-The first shot is outstanding! I love the subtle reflection!
ReplyDeletebeautiful reflections Sylvia!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you:)
Stunning reflections!!!

Wow! The first picture looks like a mini Christmas tree! Very impressive shot!
ReplyDeleteI love the notion of that tree having its own window!!
ReplyDeleteand the light on the water is spectacular
Hope sends hugs
A great collection - especially like the watery reflection of the leaves.
ReplyDeleteI think I see a Christmas tree in that reflection.
ReplyDeleteThe plant reflection is unusual. All the pictures are beautiful, as always.
ReplyDeleteHI Sylvia, I enjoyed all your photos.. love that sunset...

Have a happy weekend, Sylvia****
ps: thanks for your visit and nice comment;o)
Seeing trees in the clouds is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, you have such a delightful imagination, don't ever loose it.
Natures watery reflection tells a story of sniffing and sneezing, achoo..
Its sad to say ado to a 4 wheel friend that has carry you where ever you wanted to go.
Hopefully a new ride will come along to help you on your journey.
Keep the faith, be well and happy :>)
Hi Sylvia! That secnd is awesome...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Second, sorry
ReplyDeleteThe poetry really enhances the images. I love poetry so much it almost makes me feel guilty for not including it myself! You are very creative.
ReplyDeleteThese are great reflection shots and my favorites are the second and the third one. Thank you for sharing.. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow this post is magnificent, I love the poetry, did you write also poems? Wow again, it's adorable and the pictures are so brilliant!I can not choose one picture, I love them all!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Sunday
hugs
Léia
The subtle reflection in the first shot is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteA hiker have time to see more than a driver ! You must just have your camera with you. Often I took my picture ridding my bicycle ! I stop where I want,I go slowly …
ReplyDeleteLovely reflections particularly the suns rays on the water. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely reflections!
ReplyDeleteThat first pic is completely enchanting. I love the reflection in a reflection. And as for your last photo: I put up a pic I took two weeks ago -- on the last day we had sun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful series of reflections, I really like the tree in the clouds. The sunlight has been absent from this side of the state too, today was very foggy with rain.
ReplyDeleteA tree living in a window in the sky? Well, what´s wrong with that? Happens every day!
